“Long Yuan, I think if you shout ‘eighty’ before each attack on the Black Gold Refined Gold, your attack power might be stronger, and you could open the Black Gold Refined Gold faster.” Gu Yu looked at Long Yuan attacking the Black Gold Refined Gold again and again, and he suddenly thought of a classic scene.
"Eighty???" Long Yuan was full of questions; he didn't understand what that meant.
"Look at you, so ignorant!" Gu Yu puffed out his chest. Long Yuan had been telling him he was short-sighted all this time, but he hadn't paid any attention to him. However, that didn't mean he hadn't remembered.
“I’ve never heard you say that before,” Long Yuan said, his expression still somewhat serious.
“On Earth, workers shout when they do heavy work. For example, they say ‘one, two,’ ‘hey,’ etc. when they push things. Even when we unleash our ultimate move, we shout out the name of the move to increase our momentum, right?” Gu Yu said seriously.
“Yes!” Long Yuan thought about it and realized it was true.
"And eighty is a conclusion that human researchers have reached in recent years during their research. The word 'eighty' adds the most momentum," Gu Yu began to ramble.
"Hmm?" Long Yuan frowned, sensing something was amiss. "Why eighty? Couldn't it be ten thousand or a hundred thousand?"
"You can try it! This is the result of humankind's long-standing efforts, and there's a reason for everything." Gu Yu continued to spout nonsense, but Long Yuan frowned and began to take it seriously.
"Eighty." A burst of energy suddenly emanated from his dragon claw, and he shouted "Eighty!" as he slammed it towards the black gold.
"How are you feeling?" Gu Yu asked Long Yuan.
"It seems to work a little," Long Yuan said after thinking for a moment. "I'll try another ten thousand."
As he spoke, Long Yuan threw the black gold refined gold at it again, then paused, "It seems there's no difference! Let's try another 100,000."
boom…………
"Hiss!" Long Yuan was stunned again. "It seems there's still no difference."
However, when his gaze fell on the cracks in the black gold refined gold, he frowned. "It seems that more cracks can be opened at eighty." Moreover, Long Yuan also discovered that the more he shouted "eighty," the more energetic he became.
As a result, in addition to the sounds of cutting ore and bombarding black gold refined gold, the sound of "eighty" was added to the Originium Mine.
"Charge!" Outside Tu Niu City, Hei Fengyuan and more than twenty figures instantly floated into the air. As his shout rang out, the shield bearers, shields raised, rushed towards Tu Niu City. The sound of their footsteps made the earth tremble slightly, while catapults and archers launched boulders and unleashed a barrage of arrows.
"Activate the electric grid, unleash firepower!" With Long Aotian's command, the defense system of Tu Niu City instantly activated. A layer of electric grid spread out, releasing a powerful electric shock. The ground trembled under the surge of electricity. On the city walls, laser cannons and cannons roared in unison, their firepower intertwining like a raging storm, sweeping towards the charging minotaur army.
The shells traced fiery trajectories in the air, and with deafening explosions, they instantly burst into the enemy ranks, kicking up clouds of dust and debris.
The Tauren shieldbearers were immediately thrown into disarray by the blast, and at the same time, arrows and boulders rained down, crashing into the electric grid.
Although the electric grid was quite effective, blocking most of the attacks, arrows and boulders still managed to pierce through it and crash into the city.
Boom boom boom…
The explosions continued, and at that moment, Black Wind Abyss, who was suspended in the air, waved his hand, and 100,000 minotaur race members floated into the air. Their cultivation levels were all between the first and fifth level, and they swept towards Slaughter Bull City with spiked clubs in their hands.
"Get the fighter jets." Long Aotian also gave the order, and immediately thousands of fighter jets took off from the city. Each fighter jet was equipped with a laser cannon, and thousands of fighter jets fired their laser cannons at the same time, and countless beams of light spread towards the Minotaur army.
The entire sky was filled with scorching heat, the stench of blood, and the strong smell of burning.
By this time, the Tauren shield infantry had advanced several miles. Although their artillery and laser cannons were powerful, it must be said that their shields were indeed quite effective in defense.
In such a short time, only five or six thousand of the fifty thousand shield soldiers were lost.
"Fire heavy missiles!" Long Aotian commanded, and countless shells burst forth. The destructive power of the heavy missiles was indeed astonishing. With the first round of firing of a hundred shells, the area outside the city was instantly devastated, and 10,000 of the 50,000 shield soldiers were wiped out in an instant.
"The destructive power of human technological weapons is indeed astonishing. No wonder the opening of the Source Gate caused my million-strong army to lose 70% of its strength." Hei Fengyuan, who was floating in the void, looked at the small mushroom cloud below and the minotaur warriors who were constantly dying, and sighed.
whoosh...
A second volley of heavy missiles was fired, and screams of agony echoed from the Tauren army. The shields were indeed formidable, but they were insignificant in the face of heavy missiles.
"Get the second echelon ready." Black Wind Whirlwind said, looking at the constantly losing shield soldiers. The next second, the Minotaur race behind them quickly assembled, and another 50,000 shield soldiers rushed towards Bull Slaughter City.
"I'd like to see how many high-tech weapons you have," Hei Fengyuan said, his eyes fixed intently on Long Aotian on the city gate tower.
Looking at the 50,000 shield soldiers that had gathered again behind them, Long Aotian and the other high-ranking officials frowned.
They don't have many heavy missiles left, only four hundred in total. They've already fired three rounds, and only one round is left.
Despite the long duration of the conflict, the Minotaur race only lost around 60,000 soldiers, while the enemy had 700,000. The humans, on the other hand, also suffered significant losses in a short time.
As for the new nuclear bombs and Thunderclap, the number was not large to begin with: fifty new nuclear bombs and twenty Thunderclap aircraft. These were all prepared to deal with the high-end combat power of the Minotaur race.
"Bring five new nuclear bombs and let them taste what nuclear weapons are like," Long Aotian said.
"Okay," someone replied.
At the same time, the last round of heavy missiles was launched, and among these missiles were five new nuclear warheads.
Rumble……………………
As the shells landed, a dazzling light burst forth. Hei Fengyuan, who was suspended in the air, changed his expression instantly. A hundred heavy missiles were nothing, but the explosive power of the five nuclear bombs was astonishing. In an instant, the shield soldiers were all engulfed in white light.
The deafening sound reverberated through the sky, affecting even a large portion of the charging minotaurs in the air. For a moment, it seemed as if the earth itself trembled.
As the blinding white light gradually dissipated, only a handful of shield bearers remained, and they were severely injured, lying like a pile of roasted meat, unable to move.
Black Wind Abyss and the other Minotaur Kings stared wide-eyed. The explosive force of that thing was enough to kill them, even if they were inside it.
"The power of this thing is comparable to a strike from a peak King Realm expert, and its coverage area is too wide," a peak King Realm expert exclaimed.
Yes, the explosive power of the new nuclear bomb is indeed comparable to the full-force attack of a peak King Realm expert, but it is far stronger than a peak King Realm expert. This is because the new nuclear bomb is a weapon of mass destruction, and in the current battle, its power is absolutely no less than that of an Emperor Realm expert.
"Such a powerful weapon has actually been developed by humans." Hei Fengyuan frowned as well. In just one moment, almost all of his shield soldiers were wiped out. One hundred thousand shield soldiers! If there were hundreds of thousands of such weapons, they could probably dominate all races.
Even if the dragon race is incredibly powerful, it would be wiped out if faced with hundreds of thousands of these things.
"Third echelon!" Black Wind Abyss commanded. The next second, 100,000 minotaurs brandished their weapons and charged toward Bull Slaughter City at incredible speed, like arrows released from a bow.
"Give me full firepower! Three rounds of small missiles and one round of medium missiles, plus those guys in the air, give them a good beating!" Long Aotian said.
At this moment, the Minotaur in the air had already gotten quite close to the electric grid. They actually began to attack the grid, and some even took advantage of the gaps in the grid caused by the falling boulders to rush in.
Boom boom boom…………………
Suddenly, artillery fire raged, and people were dying all the time. But this was war, and it would not end as long as one side was not annihilated or surrendered.
The firepower continued to bombard them, but the number of minotaurs was simply too great. They seemed fearless, charging forward recklessly.
"Minister, our artillery shells are almost used up." Duan Bo walked up to the city wall and said in a panic. If the artillery fire was sufficient, they would not be without hope of resisting 700,000 minotaurs. However, the artillery fire was almost exhausted. Once the artillery fire was gone, the minotaurs would soon break through the electric fence defense. At that time, humans would have no chance of winning against the minotaur army.
"Just keep five of the new nuclear bombs," Long Aotian said.
"Aren't the new nuclear bombs meant to deal with those at the King Realm?" Duan Bo said.
“It would be a waste to use this kind of large-scale offensive weapon against a King Realm expert. This is the time to use it,” Long Aotian said. “But let’s wait a bit longer. Once they have deployed all their troops, we can launch a nuclear missile and give them a heavy blow.”
"Fourth echelon, move out." At this moment, Hei Fengyuan said from the opposite side, "Hei Shi, Hei Jian, listen to my command, you two lead the column, you have half an hour to break through the electric fence and enter the city.
"Yes." The two King Realm experts bowed and accepted the order. The next second, the two of them led the fourth column, another 100,000 Minotaur troops, to join the siege. With the two King Realm experts leading the way, small missiles and laser cannons had virtually no effect on them.
The two minotaurs at the King Realm immediately took the lead, easily launching small missiles.
"Their King-level experts have made their move. I'll go and meet them." At this moment, Lu Yao said. Hei Shi and Hei Jian had already arrived in front of the electric grid. The two of them were brimming with power and were gathering their attacks to break the electric grid.
"Alright." Long Aotian nodded upon hearing Lu Yao's words. Hei Shi and Hei Jian were only at the early stage of the King Realm, while Lu Yao was at the peak of the King Realm. He could easily handle both of them on his own.
Upon hearing Long Aotian's agreement, Lu Yao immediately flew towards the Black Stone and Black Iron people. However, at this moment, the Minotaur race that broke through the electric grid and more and more human commanders appeared on the outer edge of the electric grid and began to fight against the Minotaur race.
However, the Tauren who managed to break through the electric grid were basically all injured, and even those of the same level were much weaker.
"I'd like to see how long you can hold out." Hei Fengyuan murmured as he looked at Long Aotian, who was still standing on the city wall as steady as a mountain. He had been waiting for Long Aotian to show a panicked expression, but he had never succeeded. At this moment, he was certain that the human side no longer had heavy missiles, and as for the new nuclear bomb, he was not sure.
This is also why he never ordered his 700,000-strong army to attack the city all at once. The denser the population, the more people would die. In fact, wave after wave of attacks were the best approach.
“Your Highness, should we launch a general offensive now? I think the humans probably don’t have that kind of weapon anymore,” said a peak-level King Realm expert. “Our casualties are already approaching 200,000.”
“Wait a little longer. Humans are incredibly cunning. If we launch a full-scale attack, they still have those weapons, and we will suffer even greater casualties. In that case, we might really be defeated,” Black Wind Abyss said.
"Minister, we've run out of shells. Now only the laser cannon is usable," Duan Bo said to Long Aotian as he walked up to the city gate tower again.
At this moment, a cold glint flashed in Long Aotian's eyes. "If they don't launch a full-scale attack, the effectiveness of our new nuclear bombs will be greatly reduced."
"It seems we'll have to stage a self-inflicted injury ruse," Huangfu Jun said somewhat reluctantly. A self-inflicted injury ruse inevitably involves bloodshed and sacrifice.
“That’s right. Without bloodshed, they won’t believe we’re out of ammunition and supplies, and they won’t launch a full-scale attack,” Long Aotian said in a deep voice.
The next second he suddenly moved, his figure instantly levitating into the air, and countless human powerhouses flew up behind him.
They instantly flew out of the electric grid and began charging towards the Minotaur army.
Long Aotian took the lead, and wherever he went, minotaurs fell to the ground instantly.
As Hei Fengyuan looked at Long Aotian charging out, a fighting spirit appeared on his face.
"Pass on my order to launch a general offensive." As soon as Hei Fengyuan finished speaking, his figure transformed into lightning and rushed towards Long Aotian. The two were moving at an extreme speed, and from a distance, they looked like two streaks of light rapidly approaching each other.
At the same time, all the Minotaur armies and all the King Realm warriors launched an attack, rushing towards the direction of Minotaur City.
"Prepare to launch the new nuclear missile," Huangfu Jun said. "Launch it towards the densely packed area of the Minotaur army."
“Our men will be blown up too,” Duan Bo said, his expression changing drastically upon hearing Huangfu Jun’s words.
More than ten thousand people followed Long Aotian out, and they were already fighting with the Minotaur race. Although they had the support of laser cannons, people kept falling.
“My men will indeed be killed, but the Minotaur race will be killed even more. Their death toll will be more than ten times ours. We must do this,” Huangfu Jun said. “I think everyone understands that if the Minotaur army breaks through Tu Niu City, everyone will die. Those who rush out are already prepared to die the moment they rush out.”
“Commander Huangfu is right. From the first day we entered the Southwest Source Gate, we were prepared to sacrifice ourselves at any time. It’s worth it to exchange one life for dozens of enemy lives,” said a warrior in source armor. He looked at his comrades fighting the minotaurs, his blood boiling. He wished he could rush forward and fight them to protect humanity, but he couldn’t. He had something more important to do: defend the city. The difference in numbers between humans and minotaurs was too great. Although they had the support of laser cannons, many minotaurs had crossed the defenses and the electric fence, and their numbers were increasing.
“That’s right. If we don’t do this, the situation will be even more dire,” Qi Jin said at this moment.
"Prepare Thunderclap," Huangfu Jun ordered. "Aim at those King Realm experts and make sure every shot hits them. They pose a threat not only to our army but also to our King Realm experts and high-end combat forces."
"Yes!" someone replied. Twenty Thunderclap Bombs. In fact, the Thunderclap Bombs are more powerful than the new nuclear bombs. The advantage of the new nuclear bombs is their wide-range destructive power, while the Thunderclap Bombs are small-range, concentrating all the attack power on one point. Tests have been conducted. If a Thunderclap Bomb were to hit a peak King Realm expert, the peak King Realm expert would definitely die, because the Thunderclap Bombs' attack has reached the Emperor Realm level.
Unfortunately, hitting a King Realm expert is quite difficult because King Realm experts are too fast. Once the opponent notices and dodges, it is impossible to hit them. This is also the weakness of Thunderclap. Moreover, each Thunderclap can only be fired once before it is damaged and cannot be recycled, because recycling is more difficult than manufacturing a new one.
boom…………………
Just then, Long Aotian and Hei Fengyuan collided, and a powerful energy shockwave immediately spread out.
The two retreated instantly. After regaining their footing, Hei Fengyuan looked at Long Aotian with even stronger fighting spirit in his eyes, while Long Aotian looked at Hei Fengyuan with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
“Long Aotian, you are mine,” Hei Fengyuan said.
"You're not qualified." Long Aotian didn't even look at Hei Fengyuan. "You want to kill me and become emperor? You're dreaming. Facing me, you won't become emperor, and you'll lose your life."
"Hehe..." Hearing Long Aotian's words, Hei Fengyuan chuckled coldly, "Long Aotian, you are so arrogant. I will kill you today."
As Hei Fengyuan spoke, a mountain-splitting axe appeared in his hand, and the aura of a king emanating from him became even stronger.
A halberd appeared in Long Aotian's hand, and he instantly swept it towards Black Wind Abyss.
